Roll-to-roll manufacturing Gold Ceramic Integrated Circuit package (1979)
This Lucite paperweight is from an unknow Integrated circuit packaging company. It was created to celebrate their first production run of a roll-to-roll machine on February 20th 1979.
Roll-to-roll (reel to reel) manufacturing was used in the automated processing for building the metal lead frame and ceramic packaging for Integrated cicruits.
Embedded inside is a ceramic DIP (CERDIP) IC package with gold plated lead frame and leads. The unfinished IC package has an open cavity and does not have a chip attached at this point in the production process. This DIP package would most likely had been produced in bulk to supply to external customers who would then attatch their own chip die, perform wire bonding, and lid encapsulation. The metal lead frame still has the tie-bar attached that protects the leads from becoming bent, and would later be trimmed off before going to customers.
The DIP (Dual in-line package) was the most popular from of Integrated circuit package used by the electronics industry during the 1970s and 1980s. It was first invented in 1964 by an engineer at Fairchild Semiconductor named Bryant "Buck" Rogers.
